Dombrowski on movin' on up

Brandyn Dombrowski hadn’t officially reported to training camp,
but he was at Chargers Park on Wednesday working out on his
own.

When approached for a reaction to Tuesday’s news that he would
start camp atop the depth chart at left tackle, Dombrowski was
excited, yet guarded about the prospect of taking over for Marcus
McNeill, the incumbent starter withholding services in protest of
his contract status.

“That’s great news, but it’s the beginning of training camp and
I’m not taking anything for granted,” Dombrowski said. “I’m going
to take advantage of the reps I get with the first team and try to
make the most of this opportunity.”

Dombrowski was a super-sub last season making two starts at
right guard and seven starts at right tackle in place of injured
teammates. While he hasn’t played left tackle at any level,
Dombrowski is more comfortable playing on the left side despite
little professional experience on the right.

“That’s my natural side,” Dombrowski said. “I feel more
comfortable and that I can move better on the left, so I don’t the
adjustment will be that big of a deal.

“I’m going to pour focus into my technique, especially the
little things. I’ve learned that poor technique gets you beat on
game day. I have to be perfect, or as close to perfect as I can be
moving forward.”
